Research-Informed Instructional Design
EDFD 70303 | Introduction to Education Research
This artifact demonstrates my ability to analyze educational research and connect evidence-based findings to instructional design. Through the examination of two quantitative research studies, I explored research design, data collection, statistical analysis, and the ways research can inform effective learning experiences.
AECT Competencies Demonstrated
Connecting Research to Professional Practice
Assessing/Evaluating
Evidence-Based Evaluation
This artifact demonstrates my ability to critically evaluate educational research by examining quantitative research designs, data collection methods, statistical analyses, and research findings. This process strengthened my ability to interpret evidence and use research to inform instructional design decisions.
Theoretical Foundations
Connecting Theory and Practice
This artifact demonstrates my understanding of how established theories guide educational research and instructional practice. Examining frameworks such as the Technology Acceptance Model and Theory of Planned Behavior strengthened my ability to connect theory, learner behavior, and the design of digital learning experiences.
Reflection on Practice
Research to Practice
This artifact strengthened my ability to reflect on research findings and consider their application to instructional design. Examining learner confidence, engagement, usability, support, and persistence helped me understand how evidence can guide intentional decisions that improve learning experiences.
